storv of Governor nrarmndukc.

Governor j ohm S. Marmaduke, of Mis-
souri,, is 55 years old and confirmed
bachelor. During the war :hefwas Con-
federate cavalry general and made rep
utation as u dashing fighter. His soldiers
tell this story of his leading o charge. All
day the generals forces had been skir-
mishing with the Union troops around q
town in Missouri; finally the town was
entered and a charge ordered up the main
streets. The Union cavalry posted at the
other end of the town gave the rebs O
warm reception. Gen. Marmaduke's
horse was shot from under him. He
asked O private to dismount and leaped
upon his horse. The private had big
pair of saddle bags hung over the rear OF
his saddle, stuffed with sundry merchan-
disc. Clapping spurs to the horse the
general was soon flying through the streets
at u rapid pace.
Women and children, those who were
brave enough to look out Of the windows,
began to yell and laugh, and the brigade
the general was leading broke forth with
loud shouts and peals of merriment. From
both saddle bags long strips of ribbon
streamed in the breeze and futtered
about the heads of the horses in the rear.
The pouches on each side Of the horse
were winding out ribbon almost as rapidly
rs the Conjurer Hermann unwinds it
from hat. Pieces Of ladies' dress goods
also began to swing out. He mistook the
shouts for: encouragement end continued
his wild charge until he discovered the
real causesof the din. Theprivate had dar-
rived in the town before the general and
helped himself at the dry goods stores to
everything he could put This Hands fon.
The general laughs at the joke now, but
he said it was used by the Federals for all
it was worth during the war.-New York

The Average Am erican Voice.

am an American, but am not one
who believes that the American voice is
musical. In fact, the voice of the average
American is not of;pleasant quality. Con-
sidered musically, it Is jerky and spas
modic. The language forced upon his
articulation Is not of the liquid, smooth
nature that gives the Italian his pre-
eminence as O vocalist. The number OF
men, and especially women, in this coun-
try who have discordant voices Is such as
to warrant the belief that there must be
radical change in some direction to bring
American yocalism to the front rank. 1t
has been discovered in this city, when
large number Of voices for choral work
was desired, that there was O great
scarcity Of fine voices among the Ameri-
can population. In great many of our
singers there is plenty Of art and polish,
but the voice Is lacking, and art will not
atone for that.
believe that much might be done to
remedy this natural defect by an early
training Of the vocal organs Of children.
True, what is called singing is practiced
in our public schools, but sthe pupils are
left to sing at random and failsto learn
the difference between vocal noiss and
melody. Nearly every child Of native
origin sings in nasal tones, and the result Is
deformity of the voice that grows with
age, and shows both in singing and speak.

neglected. Nothing issmore disagreeable
than rasping female voice, and two
thirds Of our women speak in harsh,
nasal tone.-Music Teacher in Globe

A .parislnn. clockmalter,s Expealent.

AsParisian .clookmaker, ;evidently an
admircr of Gen. Boulanger, lins hit upon
a,happy eXpedient for increasing his por-
-tion of wealth and fame. Having noticed
that only the jingo men are popular In
this tickle day, he posted notice that
many of the clocks that were being sold
Us American product were really German
make, and announced that he would
handle no more of them. TO prove his
/; sincerity, he went to the trouble of smash
ing two or three suspected" timepieces
in the presence of goodly crowd Of ad-
mirers, who checred him in his patriotic
work Since then, work, which he often
lacked before, has begun to flow in plenty
to his doors, and he is coming money ut q
lively rate. In city like Paris this was
easily done, for, in spite of its surround
ings, the Partisan rabble is easily gulled.
But it is dangerous work, nevertheless;
for If the same people who are now cheer
ing this hero were to learn that his action
was only MI advertising rusc, they would
soon mako it warmer for him and his
!. shop than he probably sdesires it to be-
come.-Philadclp Times.

Buffalo meat, which was once II drug
on the market, and cheaper thnn beef by
more than half, is now, on account OF
its scarcity, esteemed luxury by II class
of people who believe that anything that
is expensive and hard to get must be
good. Time was when n western game
dealer was glati to get 4 cents n pound
for buffalo beef Now he could get 25
cents {. pound 10 meet the demand, we
learn that party in Kansas, and another
in Dakota, have gone into the business OF
breeding buffaloes for the market, and
expect to put some two-year-old heifers
on sale next spring. 1t is strange how
people will long for the hard to get. For
instance, in St. Louis no one thinks OF
eating wild pigeons, and there are scarcely
any put on sale, because New York and
Boston take ull that can l,c shipped, even
should the amount sum up to 5000 bar

mnr1o Of o Woman,s Touch.

u
Why is mothers hand on the head Of
sick child so soothing? Because her love
supplies electricity which is curative
force and tonic. Animal electricity is
an agency not so well understood as 1t
should be by women, though they use it
continually. It is enormously confounded
with the massage treatment, which is
nothing more nor less than merelyrub-
bing the entire body. Animal electricity
is impaired tby carefulm manipulation of the
muscles, performed by gently stretching
them with both hands. This produces an
elasticity of action which causes them to
rise, thereby increasing their power to act.
Women, whose fingers are supple and yet
strong, can best impart electricity to their
children. The treatment should be ap-
piled mainly with the fingers. When the
nerves are prostrated they can be inyig-
Grated in the same way. They should. be
gently pressed in one direction and an
other, which tends to increase their vital
ity. The general circulation can be in
creased by lightly moving the hands over
!, the surface of the blood vessels, not rub
bing them briskly, but using enough force
to quicken the circulation. Women can
become thorough animal electricians II
they will but devote themselves to care
full study Of anatomy. The world is full
Of half invalid women, who should be re-
stored to health by this natural method.
Drugs will not help them, but animal
electricity applied under the right condi-
tions will cure the individualism Of the
sex.-Cor. Wolnan's Argosy. - -

Yevsnaner oren Hard to Kill.

In the main, journalists are hard to
kill. They work under many difficulties,
the majority of them at night, subject to
hurry, and what would be osother people
worry and excitement; yet they hold out
pretty well. In these days, when the
world is rushing on in oil lines at o break
neck speed, all the events in its path must
be chronicled daily, andit is the business
of the newspaper to do it, and it does it
with zeal, fidelity and accuracy never
before known. In the field of business
there IS d lull at different seasons, and oil
departments of human activity are never
uniform in speed. Hence 1t is with tho
newspaper no hard matter to sell the
sheet at any season Of the year. The
character and quality OF news may be-
better at some times than at others, but
there is, always plenty to print The
makers OF oesnewspapers, therefore, are the
constant toilers. Baltimore American.

.not,,cr Fond Illusion Gone.

A short time ago we called attention to
the statement that women never stutter
and that Indians never snorc. 1t is now
stated that three suffering women have
been found, one Mt Seward, one at Brown
Hollow and one at Palatine Bridge. Only
three women that stutter found out of the
millions Of our people! The fact shows
two other facts clearly-first, that women
can stutter; second, that suffering women
are about rs rare as white blackbirds.
Exceptions are said to prove the rule, but
we could never exactly understand that
wise saw. But if suffering women are
very rare there is good reason for 1T.
What is the reason? 1t is worth investi-
eating, for it may lead to the, cure: or the
prevention Of suffering. And if Indians
do not snore, Or seldom snore, tue reason
should bc found out, so that snoring may
become lost art.-Troy Press.

$50 does almost every one. The use OF
linen and cotton for underwear Is one OF
the commonest of all errors in this coun-
try. Now in Germany we have move
ment which is called the German school
of clothing reform. It aims to replace
cotton and linen with woolen goods.
There are many reasons why this should
be done Wool exercises stimulating
effect upon the skin, unlike linen and
cotton, and consequently promotes the
proper action of the pores, glands and
superficial tissues 1t is nonconductor
of heat and preserves the normal temper
ature of the body. 1t allows freer es-
cape of the perspiration, and thus lowers,
z by evaporation, any abnormal tempera-
ture of the body, and facilitates the loss
of excessive heat. Also, through its nom
conductivity Of heat, it preserves the
normal measure of warmth. Hence 1t is
"a better protection against the extremes

r'Well, those certainly do seem to be
reasons enough"
ssIndeed they are, but they are not all.
Wool is electrical, whilo linen and cotton
are not. Wool can excite electricity, but
{ does not conduct 1T. Therefore n body
clothed In wool loses less of its ami
NAL electricity, while fresh electricity
Is excited on the surface. The intimate
relationship between galvanic, nervous
and vital forces render this popularity OF

s.the old idea of having something fumsy
Aand gauzy next to the flesh is too firmly
instilled in the minds Of the manulac-
turers of underwear for them to expert

incurable disorders by simply prescribing

Aqqllillo Surgical Operation
A FATAL MISTAKE.

THE Cleveland (ohio) Press,
Of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account Of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great con1motion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronorncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease Of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment Of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement Of the digestion,
with poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After q while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
o cold PRESENTATION. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful Nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pair. in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
Of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence Of DR..
Tuckerman, Dr.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, Dr.. Gordon, Dr.. Capner,
and Dr.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an cxanin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
Of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband Of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects OF a
surgical operation that ought
never to lave been performed.
Ii this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostratlon Nor
this was what the disease really
was}, she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Roo1s, or SEreEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or lndi-
gestion, has restored! many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds Of treatment have
failed. The evidence Of its
efficacy in curing this class Of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale. -.
